The Webinar: Open Educational Resources (OER) for teachers and trainers, organized by the ETF Community of Innovative Educators in collaboration with UNESCO-UNEVOC and the International Council for Open and Distance Education (ICDE), took place on 30th October 2023.
Following on introduction presenting the concepts of open licenses and OER, the webinar outlined practical guidelines for educators, both from the point of view of OER experts coming from international organisations such as UNESCO-UNEVOC and the International Council for Open and Distance Education (ICDE), and of actual teachers and trainers who are using OER in their daily work.
The two-hour online event was attended by more than 100 participants and started with news from the ETF Community of Innovative Educators. Then a description of open content, open licenses and OER was introduced by Juliane Granly, Project & Development Manager ICDE. Fawzi Baroud, Notre Dame University of Louaize, Lebanon, presented real cases of OER from teachers, and finally Max Ehlers (Head of Knowledge Management and IT, UNESCO-UNEVOC) and Virginia Rodés (Institute for the Future of Education, Tecnologico de Monterrey) provided some practical guidelines for educators on how to start using OER in their daily work. The webinar was concluded with a co-creation session, where participants were asked to give feedback and comments on how OER can help and facilitate the teachers' work.
